Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The lump below the knee that is painful on walking is likely to be due to an inflamed bursa in the area. Mild pain killers and hot fomentation will help to decrease the symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
